To connect to the command line interface of the Smart-1 Appliances, use one of these:
- Use the included serial console cable (DB9-to-DB9), or the DB9-to-RJ-45 adapter, and a terminal emulation software, such as PuTTY (from Windows) or Minicom (from Unix/Linux).
- Use an SSH connection to the management interface (if SSHD is configured).
To connect to the appliance CLI using the serial console cable DB9-to-DB9 and a terminal emulation software:
- Connect one end of the serial console cable DB9-to-DB9 directly to the Serial console port on the appliance.
- Use a screwdriver to attach the cable screws to the Serial console port.
- Connect the other end of the serial console cable to your computer (console server).
- On your computer, open a terminal emulation software.
- Configure the serial connection parameters: 9600bps, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit (8N1), Flow Control - None.
- Establish the serial connection to the appliance.
To connect to the appliance CLI using the the DB9-to-RJ-45 adapter and a terminal emulation software:
